Arsene Wenger supports Infantino's decision to end World Cup sell-off plan

Arsene Wenger, FIFA's chief of global football development, endorsed Gianni Infantino’s decision to abandon the controversial World Cup sell-off proposal. Wenger described the decision as 'absolutely necessary and beyond question' following significant opposition from multiple European football associations, including Uefa and the Football Association of Wales. The original plan aimed to sell a 20 percent stake in a FIFA enterprise to private investors but faced scrutiny and threats of boycotts. Following this development, concerns have emerged regarding FIFA's relationship with European football clubs, particularly around the 2029 Club World Cup. Wenger clarified he was not involved in the project and emphasized FIFA's need for commitment and integrity.
